I see... So if Bush pursues military victory instead of talks, he's a bass-ackwards warmongering cowboy, but if he tries to make peace and unify differing factions, he's the new Saddam?

Can't win with these libtards.

Forget 911, I dial 9MM.

Liberals never do get it right, because looking at Bush my judgment is he looks suave and manly. Women will swoon over this and I think Jorge el Busto should get himself a Bradley and cruise around with his UN black beret and sport a thick moustache.

Perhaps then he will bust eastern Canada literally in their liberal haven and smack northern Mexico of it's socialism. Those areas opened up as new American frontiers would spark an economic bonanza worth trillions in development as Canucks and Mexicans have deep problems with prospering.

Since Bush is being accused of all of this.......let him play the role for the next 2 years, especially in dealing with Iran so there is no more military love thy muslim, but killing enemies efficiently and installing the quivering friends to lead these muslim lands into the peaceful nations of properity.

Viva la Busto!

I wonder if it is the cold weather that causes mental illness.

On behalf of conservative Canadians across our land, please allow me to be so bold as to offer our apologies to our friends to the south.

Also, please don't compare Bush to Pierre Trudeau; he was one of the most socialist Prime Ministers of my lifetime! Better choices would be Brian Mulroney (who forged close friendships with Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, and despite being an 'evil conservative' was recently voted Canada's "greenest" Prime Minister) or Robert Stanfield (who led our Conservative Party but never won the Prime Ministership, prompting historians to label him, "The greatest Prime Minister Canada never had!" )

If you don't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them!

I write from Canada - the Maclean's story is symptomatic of the deep anti-US malaise in Canada.  The media, particularly the state Canadian Bias Corporation, the education system (the day after 9/11 the professor where my daughter studied announced with glee that the American bastards deserved it), the churches (and mosques of course), the business people and a good percentage of the chattering classes provide a constant anti-American drum beat in Canadian lives.

I have had to explain to my children that indeed good things come out of the US - at first they did not believe it since schools here - with few exceptions teach that America is the root of all things bad in the world.

Also as Asian and Middle-Eastern immigrants flood into the country (Toronto is now less than 50% white) be assured that they too are taught quite clearly that America is the evil.

It is true that Canada  is a pip squeek of a country (though swaggering at the moment because of the dollar parity), but do not underestimate its 'goody two shoes' image in the world and the terrible harm it does to its Southern neighbor to which it owes so much.

It hurts me when traveling in the US. I announce I am from Canada and decent well meaning Americans - ordinary Joes- are pleased to see me and always tell me how much they like Canada.  Of course, it is impossible to tell them the reality back home that the large population centers like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver go out of their way to say bad things about the US. And as my American friends have found when visiting many 'educated' Canadians are postively rude towards them unless they pour scorn on Bush.

For balance I should add that we currently have a minority government more sympathetic to the US that understand the threats faced by the West, but that is more because the leftist parties are in disarray than a reflection of the majority of the population.

 As I said above Macleans magazine, subsidized by the state, is a fine reflection of the situation.
